Out of 600 sets of questionnaire 220 were retured. where-from 202 were analyzed.The findings are summerized as follows.1) Communality seems to be the general character of the An-bang. The exclusive use of the room by the parents is limited for sleeping. Otherwise the room is more public thatn private.2) Difference in identifying the An-bang is seen between parents(or housewives)and children ; 58.9% of the housewives are permissive toward the children's use of the room, while 60% of the children are rather exclusive.3) The housewives' attitudes are found to be slightly different between Taegu and Pusan according to a 5-poing Likert Scale, althougy non-singificant through the X test.4) The spatio-functional aspect of An-bang is considered by the housewives more important than the aesthetic one.5) As far as the temporal qualities of the An-bang are concerned, the change of life style through the use of beds expected to be extensive among young adults. |
